I just hope that he makes sur eto tell the organizers where they're screwing up, on his way out.
I think that I've got the perfect replacement for him on the team too.

Yea I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't chafe a few asses before he leaves... we'll see. I think it all depends on what he plans to do after he retires and how much his plans depend on/ involve the AMA. No use burning bridges. Personally, I'd like to see him manage a Suzuki WSBK team and help get them back on track... Heck maybe even a MotoGp team!

No surprise. That series isn't competitive for him anymore now that Ben is gone. When you can choose to not race a 2 race weekend and still not be worried about loosing the championship, it's time to move on.
Safety may have been his major concern but if the points were much tighter I doubt he would have chosen not to race. AMA road racing is dead and he knows it. |

This is another situation where the I4 companies have to run stock components while the V2 guys get to use factory race bikes.

I don't care much for Mat BUT I know he's an awesome rider...no doubt.
I'd think more of him if he would tell a few of the AMA higher ups to on his way out.
